"Do you have something to tell me? Dongcai? ”

Wei Ming walked to the edge of the vegetable garden and beckoned to Dongcai under the cucumber shelf, "No one else, you come out to speak." ”

Dongcai probed his brain and looked at it for a long time, and then walked out cautiously, "Brother Muzi." ”

"If you have anything to say, just tell me." Wei Ming saw that he was embarrassed, pursed his lips and wanted to say but didn't dare to say it, his heart turned, and asked, "Did your mother-in-law ask you to come over?" ”

When Dongcai heard this, his face tightened, "Brother Muzi, you know everything?" ”

Wei Ming saw that he had guessed correctly, and asked again: "Your mother-in-law asked you to stare at us?" ”

Dongcai saw that he guessed again and again, and there was nothing that could not be said, and his small body collapsed, "I, I really don't want to come, it was my mother-in-law who asked me to come, and said that I saw you go out, so I quickly told her...... I really don't want to come, Brother Muzi! ”

Now Wei Ming understood, he saw Dongcai collapse and shrink down, and hurriedly said: "It's okay, don't be in the vegetable field, go into the yard and drink saliva." ”

Dongcai was stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect Wei Ming to let him go into the courtyard to drink water, he followed Wei Ming a few steps in a daze, and suddenly remembered the fierce look that Cui Zhi warned him yesterday, "No, no, I'm not going, I'm not going!" ”

"What's wrong? We won't leave for a while, and you won't be able to go home, won't you be hot or thirsty in the field? There are no melons on the cucumber vine. Wei Ming joked with a smile.

Dongcai couldn't laugh, his face wrinkled, "Sister Cuizhi is in the courtyard, I dare not go." ”

Wei Ming smiled when he heard this, it turned out that it was the girl who scared Dongcai. It's no wonder that she was a ruffian hooligan at that time, and Dongcai was such an idea child, of course she was afraid.

He took Dongcai's hand, "It's okay, she just said, you came to report today, if she knows, she will be happy!" ”

seems to be such a truth, Dongcai didn't resist anymore after hearing it. There is not a single vegetable in the vegetable field, and the sun is about to tan him!

Here, Wei Ming led Dongcai into the courtyard, scooped a bowl of water for him to drink, and turned to Cui Zhi.

Cui Zhi was holding Xiao Yi's hand to write on the ground, saying one, he drew a vertical one, and said two, but he drew half a circle and pulled out a horizontal.

Wei Ming stood over, blocking the sun above her head, and a shadow fell, and Cui Zhi and Xiao Yi turned their heads at the same time.

"Brother!" Xiao Yi called him.

"What are you doing here?" Cui Zhi tilted his head and asked.

Wei Ming told Dongcai about Lao Zhu, "I think Dongcai is afraid of you, don't scare him." ”

"Ha," Cui Zhi laughed, "It seems that I didn't pretend to be a villain in vain last time, but this time it works." Dongcai, this kid, is also quite well-behaved. Saying that, he went to coax Xiaoyi, "Go back and sister bought you sweet cakes, okay to share the wealth?" ”

Xiao Yi wrote and painted with a branch seriously, and said obediently: "Okay." ”

"That's good!" Cui Zhi touched Xiao Yi's head and asked Wei Ming again, "What are you going to do?" Do you want to pit Old Zhu Po? ”

Wei Ming looked at Dongcai who was squatting in the corner, "Forget it, Dongcai is also the Zhu family, this kid is very good, don't make him go home and get beaten." ”

"If you don't make a move, Dongcai will go home, and you won't be able to explain it in the first place. Therefore, through his mouth, the old Zhu Po should be pit on the road, and then punished, so that she would not always be uneasy and kind. But of course, it's best if she doesn't come, which means that she still has a little conscience, and she can't talk about it. ”

Cui Zhi talked about the reason, it was reasonable, it made people think that she was not a cheater, but for the sake of others, Wei Ming couldn't help but smile and shook his head, and told her: "A small punishment and a big precept are enough." ”

"Got it, got it!" Cui Zhi responded, bowed his head and took Xiao Yi's hand, "Your brother is a good person, we are all big villains!" ”

Wei Ming chuckled.

As the sun gradually sets, the smoke curls from the cooking in Luting Village, which is surrounded by half of the mountains, and it is time to eat tonic food.

In the poor ancient countryside, there were two meals a day, eating in the morning and supplementing in the afternoon. Only Cui Zhi quietly remembered that when life became rich, he would still get used to three meals a day.

At this time, there were fewer people in the Wei family's courtyard, Tian began to clean up the stove and cook, the Wen family and Wei Ming counted the account books and salt together, Cui Zhi took a look at it, and saw that everything was in order, so he became the shopkeeper and pulled Xiao Yi to play in the shade.

From yesterday night to this afternoon, a total of more than 200 catties of salt were collected, and some people's salt was more agglomerate, but the Wei family still accepted it, as long as it was not mixed with the things on the side, it could be turned over or stored in the shade.

The Wei family has a good reputation in the village, and the Wen family is here to help, and many people who originally just came to see if it is true or false also believed it, so they took the mentality of gambling and brought the surplus salt from the family.

Among them, it is Cui Zhi's first-come, first-served slogan that plays a role.

But even so, it's still far from more than a thousand catties. Cui Zhi discussed with Wei Ming, the Wei family was a small place, and it was not convenient to trade with the Sheng family, so he promised to give the Wen family more grain, and first transport the salt to the city one by one to temporarily store the Wen family.

Now that I have finished eating supplements, it is still early, so I can take advantage of this to carry and get to the county seat before the sun goes down.

This is all planned, after all, on the Sheng family's side, Cui Qiye can't come forward, and the two little servants don't show up again, and the Sheng family thinks they have been deceived.

Cui Zhi personally looked at the stove, thinking about these things, and slowly simmered the rice soup over low heat. Although this is not enough for her ideal rice soup, in order to make the soup as sticky and fragrant as possible, it is also possible to control the heat well.

Cui Zhi held a firewood stick in his hand, carefully served this pot of soup, added some firewood to blow twice when the fire was small, and pulled out half a firewood when the fire was big, kept the heat low and simmered slowly, avoiding using a spoon to stir the soup.

I added some salt to the back. Xiaoyi had diarrhea for two days, and she couldn't help it, so she had to stop diarrhea.

By the time all the salt and accounts had been counted, the rice soup was ready.

Cui Zhi smelled the overflowing aroma, and suddenly burst into tears, "The beginning of the foodless ancient period has finally come to an end, and there will be food to eat in the future!" ”

Holding a small half bowl of thick and fragrant rice soup in his hand, Cui Zhi was teased to tears by the water vapor, "Poor me, my tears have become lower!" ”

Wei Ming glanced at her and looked at the soup in the bowl, which was comparable to the green fragrant rice and japonica rice soup given from the former palace, and was quite surprised.

He saw that she was only serving the stove, but he didn't expect to cook such a soup, this is the craft that her master taught her! It's not easy!

Wei Ming was surprised, and others were even more surprised.

"Are you hungry, why do you think this rice soup is more fragrant than abalone swallow fin?!" Wen Xin licked the bowl clean.

Wen Chuan also ate not a drop left, "Second brother, it's as if you've eaten abalone swallow's fin!" ”

Wen Xin smiled, and Cui Zhi smiled proudly at Wei Ming, who came over.

*

In this meal at Lao Zhu's house, only corn is soaked in water, and the bowl is so clear that even the gray foam floating in can be seen.

Dongcai's mother, Gao, saw Dongcai trotting back, and hurriedly called him, "Where did you go?" Skipping a meal? Starve you! ”

The words fell to the ground, and Dongcai saw the old Zhu Po squinting at him, he knew that it meant to tell him not to talk nonsense, so he quickly tightened his mouth.

In fact, there was another reason why he tightened his mouth, the Wei family gave him a small half bowl of rice soup to drink!

He had never drunk such fragrant rice soup, and the aroma went straight to his nose, and it was handed to him by Sister Cuizhi herself. Sister Cuizhi said that he did a good job and would not beat him, so he asked him to go home after drinking and tell his mother-in-law that they were going to get up.

Being able to drink rice soup and not being beaten, Dongcai simply felt that this was his best day!

So he didn't wait for his mother Gao to make him thin soup, so he ran to the ear of Lao Zhu Po first and said, "Mother, they got up!" ”
